Despite the name, the Taj Mahal's cuisine pays homage to Bosnia and Balkan traditions. In the heart of Dubrovnik's Old Town, this restaurant is a landmark for those seeking authentic, rich and tantalizing flavours served in a convivial and unpretentious atmosphere. The extensive and varied menu simply tells the story of Bosnian culinary tradition: a couple of pages are devoted to traditional dishes, alongside tasty grilled meats (from their own butcher shop), flavourful vegetables, and specialities prepared according to family recipes.

Choose between the terrace out on the street, the dining room and (easily the best option) the first-floor terrace at this restaurant in the heart of the old town. The restaurant’s name hints at the menu, which focuses on fresh local fish served in tempting dishes such as the superb fresh sea bass, king prawns and delicious barbecue-grilled octopus. Make sure you leave space for dessert: the rožata (crème caramel) is the perfect conclusion to your meal.
